Well, given the experience and know how around Newts and all things circuitry (and technical stuff like that) behind him…if anyone has a good shot at doing it…it’s PCBman!

Note that physically plugging the PSU in disconnects the internal supply so you would need to be careful to make sure one or the other is connected and not trying to supply the other.
